The 18th Annual VES Awards Winners

-

Disney’s The Lion King came out on top at the 18th annual Visual Effects Society (VES) Awards, winning three trophies including the marquee Outstanding Visual Effects in a Photoreal Feature during Wednesday night’s ceremony at the Beverly Hilton.

The Jon Favreau-directed “live action” remake of the cartoon classic also took the award for Outstanding Created Environment in a Photoreal Feature and Virtual Cinematography in a CG Project, setting it up as a front-runner for the Best Visual Effects Academy Award on February 9, 2020.

Netflix’s The Irishman and Laika’s Missing Link were the only other multiple winners on the film side. The time-jumping, de-aging film by Martin Scorsese, who received the VES Lifetime Achievement Award, took Outstanding Supporting Visual Effects in a Photoreal Feature and a compositing award. Missing Link won for Visual Effects in an Animated Feature and Animated Character in an Animated Feature.

Disney+’s series The Mandalorian, HBO’s Game of Thrones, Netflix’s Stranger Things 3 and the Ridley Scott-helmed commercial “Hennessy: The Seven Worlds,” also won a pair of awards Wednesday night.

Along with the dual Mandalorian wins, Star Wars: The Last Skywalker took Effects Simulations in a Photoreal Feature and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance scored Visual Effects in a Special Venue Project.

Roland Emmerich, whose VFX-heavy films include Stargate, Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow, 2012 and last year’s Midway, received the VES Visionary Award. Visual effects supervisor Sheena Duggal, whose credits range from Jumanji and Contact to Iron Man 3 and Venom, accepted the VES Award for Creative Excellence.
